I'm Julia. I live in Almaty and happy to meet with locals and travellers.

Love nature, mountains, hiking and trekking.
Can help with the information about local natural attractions and hikings.

I don't like and don't go to night clubs and bars. So can't give an advice on questions about clubs, bars, etc.
But I like cosy cafes, restaurants with a tasty food.
I prefer to have a good sleep at night and spend a day outdoor, in the nature.

I add to my friends list only those with who we met in reality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me Couchsurfing is a way of traveling and exchanging ideas, useful information.
I don't accept those who use it as a dating website.
Please respect my choice.

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer books rather than movies or music.
Always in a process of reading some book. Now reading Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo.
